Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Will be removing one day of pills on blister pack in order to make room for sensors and electronics
Decided on deliverables to demo at West Wireless Health Institute
Demo 1:
Send signal to remind patient to take medication through sound
Patient takes pills, puts blister back in pillsafe
signal sent to computer that pills have been puctured
Demo 2:
Toggle switch to turn off sound
Send signal to remind patient to take medication through vibration
Patient takes pills, puts blister back in pillsafe
signal sent to computer that pills have been puctured
Asking Sara to set up focus group to present to
New decision must be made regarding either removing more day's worth of pills in order to self make blister
currently consulting with San Diego plastics companies to see if they can blister for us
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Met with Sourav Monday 5/14
Attempted capacitive sensing, unable to find strong relationship or discrepancy between pill in blister, and foil in blister
spoke with steve roberts about potentially using 4 sensors at beginning of pillsafe entrance, with two additional sensors to know when blister is being inserted or removed
Each member created versions of what a story board means to them
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Incorporate vibrating motor, speaker, button
Continue testing and optimizing sensors and data
incorporate audio and vibrations into pillsafe
incorporate switches to power on/off sensor array
test whether array or linear sensor pattern more accurat
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Sara:
Will try to meet with us today or Monday
Sourav:
focus on iphone case design, put single day on the backburner for now
how to interface? GUI?
remove pills in order to make room for electronics
ok with sacrificing not having a weeks worth of pills in order to have everything completely packaged
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Delson:
Continue to develop single day pillsafe, still worth looking into
one-day version of iphone design?
consider hinging on the long side of the pillsafe
Mike:
Consider a lid design that can be used to aid person in puncturing blister pack
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
put a sensor under patient's eyebrow that provides a small vibration or shock as ultimate failsafe
Risks and Areas of Concern
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$415.11 spent
$584.89 remaining less purchases made today (5/17/12) for electronic components
Progress on Report and Webpage
second draft due next week, will be editing report with help of Mike's comments plus further adding to content with work done in past week
